I have just had confirmation by email of an invite to the Falkirk Model Railway Show 2017, which is being held on 25th and 26th November 2017 (the same weekend as Warley).

This show, to me, is special. It is the show that is the nearest to the Forth Bridge....and as such will be an opportunity for the residents of both Dalmeny and North Quennsferry, etc, to come and take a look at a layout that includes their own houses and workplaces.

I'd had a tentative invitation from Colin Rae, who as Publicity Manager for Model Rail Scotland a few days after returning from Glasgow to attend his home club show, but I needed to wait for clarification of a few arrangements before accepting.
